VIDEO: Even Bama’s wide receivers annihilate opponents

Most of the water cooler conversations on Monday morning will center around “The Prayer in Jordan-Hare” — and deservedly so. Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall’s improbable completion to Ricardo Louis to defeat Georgia will go down as one of the most memorable plays in Auburn football history.

Meanwhile, Bama delivered a lackluster performance in their 20-7 defeat of an overmatched Mississippi State squad.

But Alabama Wide Receiver Christion Jones delivered a devastating hit to open the second half of play in Starkville that will no doubt find it’s way into the pre-game highlight reel at Bryant-Denny.

Jones, a talented return man, is used to making highlights with the ball in his hands, but when the wind caused Cade Foster’s kickoff to hang in the air longer than usual, Mississippi State freshman Brandon Holloway was left vulnerable. Jones made impact just as the ball touched Holloway’s hands. The crowd’s reaction was an audible “Ooooooh!”

Assuming Alabama gets by UT-Chattanooga this weekend, The Iron Bowl at Auburn on Nov. 30th will decide who will represent the SEC-West in the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 7th in Atlanta.
